Definetly Pay It Off. You Never Know What Could Happen And It Get Repo'd With Alot Of Expensive Parts On It. Then That Would Have All Been Money Wasted. It's Very Tempting But Pay It Off

Depends on your interest rate. If it's not that high, I don't see the value in paying it off now. Sure, it feels good to have it paid off (I just paid my car off in January myself) but as long as you have a steady income and/or emergency fund that will allow you to meet your payments, why not mod now and enjoy it earlier in the car's life?

If you are at risk of not being able to meet payments then you should pay it off while you can of course.

pay it off. then in a matter of months you will save up what you need to get your H/C since you will no longer have a car payment.

seriously, if you've waited this long, whats a little longer?

not having a car payment and having little to no debt in these times is the way to go.

Pay it off, I paid off my 2006 GTO in 15 months or so.

Open a bank account, and deposit what would have been your payment into that, this way, your basically making the payment to yourself, and you will have a good mod fund, or downpayment on another vehicle.

when my wife bought me my TA, i swore i would only pay on it, and not put money in it........im such a liar. But the H/C stuff will have to come after its paid off, which is pretty close. The biggest expense so far has been the 2007 12 bolt and all the suspention stuff installs (did it all at once) and im pretty sure she's not over that one yet.
